They’ve been in the meat business since the 1950s. James T. Evans Sr. started Southeastern Meats in the 1950s, and in 1998, Evans Meats and Seafood was established.
Welcome to Pepper Place
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Evans Meats and Seafood began offering curbside pickup. The success inspired them to open a retail concept to bring their amazing options to customers every day.
“People were really excited to be able to get top-quality meat without the middleman.”
